The Intern’s Last Day

I’ve very much enjoyed my time here at Andrews McMeel Universal. I’m glad I got a chance to experience a “real world” job, but I’m also very glad to be going back to school next week. I miss class, all the homework, and I really miss the tests and exams. By that I mean, I miss my friends and the random adventures we take.

When I started my internship here, I was only familiar with a few comics. I knew the classics: Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts. I knew a few of the other ones as well, but as I’m leaving, I realize just how many different comics and cartoonists are out there. Here are a few of my favorites:

The Meaning of Lila by John Forgetta and L.A. Rose

9 Chickweed Lane by Brooke McEldowney

Reply All by Donna A. Lewis

Poptropica by Paul Gilligan and Kory Merritt

I’m glad I got the chance to discover all these new comics. I’ve learned a lot about how the company works to promote comics that are not “well-known,” and a lot about how the company works with its creators to maintain positive relationships.

I’m going to miss everyone here -- and I’ll miss keeping our readers up-to-date on giveaways and special events! I can’t believe how fast the summer went by. It seems like I just got here, but I couldn’t have imagined a better experience I could have had.
